in 2023, citing rising income inequality, the harvard economist raj chetty said, if we look at what has happened over time, we see a dramatic fading of the american dream, such that for children born in the middle of the 1980s and 1990s who are entering the labor market today, it's now become a coin flip. a 5050 shot as to whether you're going to do better than your parents. these are unacceptable odds that undermine faith in american democracy and capitalism, and they're only going to get worse unless heartland cities act with urgency to reset their economies. heartland cities like tulsa can and must be actors in the innovation economy, which, despite its inequitable access, remains the best opportunity for long term job and wealth creation. they don't need to compete with the big coastal hubs. middleweights are in a class of their own and they should strive to become the best version of themselves. mid-sized cities like tulsa with metropolitan statistical area populations between one and 3 million people already have the foundation to support a tech ecosystem population and density cu

which is why i think the harvard news today is so important.institution that isn't in this long laundry list with law firms that should be doing more and should be better actors, universities that should be doing more. cultural institutions that are trying to do more. but media institutions that should be doing more. we saw this during the campaign. certain legacy media institutions choosing not to endorse kamala harris or choosing to change their editorial pages to make sure that they don't critique donald trump. this is out of an authoritarian playbook. this is what black women have been ringing the alarm about. this is of great concern when you have a president who ignores the 9 to 0 supreme court decision. you know, this is the antithesis of federalist 51 with checks and balances and separation of powers. so we are in dangerous times, but i am given sort of some solace from today's news, because let's be clear, harvard is our oldest institution of higher learning. when they do something, it does set a tone, and it does set a precedent as mu

so what do you think harvard's next move should be harvard? i think hardly made the right move. let me, let me say one thing about the anti semitism issue. it's true that there was some anti semitism during some of these campus protests and that anti semitism should be dealt with in the way that the university deals with issues and problems on campus . there was vandalism, those the vandals should be punished. most of it was free expression peaceful protests. the government is using that weapon ising that as a pretext for its own agenda. to like to tell you a clip of white house press secretary catalyzed leverett and then get your thoughts when it comes to harvard. as i said, the president has been quite clear, they must follow federal law. he also wants to see harvard apologize and harvard should apologize for the agree just antisemitism that took place on their college campus against jewish american students to jonathan jacoby. it sounds like you don't think how it has anything to apologize for. i think harvard actually has apologized for those instances where a student safety

the trump administration is facing more than $2000000000.00 in federal funding for harvard university school rejected a list of demands from the white house of describe the demands as illegal proposed changes include reporting international students who break rules to the us federal government. this is the w news from that you'll find more on our website. the w dotcom. the donald trump's will on work now has america's the late universities in its sights tow the line or lose billions. this, the us presidents, message colombia, resisted then complied, but that didn't save it from losing 2 presidents over this issue. now it's harvard's ton and the figures are staggering. trump opens with a threat to withhold billions of a said no. and now the president is threatening to remove habits, tax exempt status. so is this really about free speech an anti semitism? i'm feel go invalid and this is the day the holding back a $1000000000.00. it's like something you would expect to see a candidate, a storage area in countries give harvard $8000000.00. it's also an extreme political intrusion into a t

harvard rejected the request, writing neither harvard nor any other private university can allow itselfo be taken over by the federal government. the administration immediately froze to billion dollars in federal grants to the school and president trump suggested the schools should lose its tax-exempt status if it keeps pushing political ideological and terrorist inspired or supporting sickness. joining us is someone from harvard who supports the university's position. cornell william brooks is a professor at the harvard kennedy school of government. very good to have you on the program. alan garber, the president of the university, separately wrote although some of the demands outlined by the government are aimed at combating anti-semitism, the majority represented direct governmental regulation of the intellectual conditions at harvard. is that how you see it? >> i see it precisely that way. i have to commend president garber for taking a financially, fiscally consequential stand, politically difficult decision. one that was made morally simple by the fact the trump administration ess

the white house is demanding an apology from harvard university. yeah. is a what it says is anti semitism on college campuses. not solve to the trump administration for more than 2200000000 dollars multi year runs to the institution, harvard and says cit will defy the us government's to bonds, to limits activism on campus and roll back of social inclusion programs fully us present the job. i did is delivering his 1st major speech since leaving office. you can see those pictures. now he's addressing trump crackdown on universities in the coming hours. when it comes to harvard, the president's position on this is grounded in common sense in the basic principle that jewish american students or students of any faith should not be legally harassed and targeted on our nation's college campuses. and we unfortunately saw that a legal discrimination take place on the campus of harvard. there are countless examples to prove it. and us federal judge has to bomb days at school and.

what were the demands that harvard said no to?nt that they're willing to lose billions of dollars in funding? >> these demands, basically, the government was asking to oversee what harvard teaches, the research they do, the content of their programs, and those are things that are just antithetical to the basic essence of a university of teaching and scholarship, which require freedom. we need to have freedom of expression, free inquiry, and unfettered by government oversight. that is the proud tradition of american higher education. going back. you know, the american association of university professors was founded over a century ago to defend these principles. and i think now is seeing a huge resurgence. our chapter at stanford was fairly dormant, and now we've had many, many people. you know, i think we're up over 100 people have signed up just in the last couple of weeks, because people realize that they need to defend academic freedom, freedom of inquiry, the freedom to determine what we teach our students and what sorts of pr

harvard is not doing that. perhaps one reason, of course, they have the biggest endowment of any university, $50 billion. so it gives them some more leeway. but the white house press secretary, karoline leavitt, said today the president is looking for something specific from harvard. >> money back. >> he also wants to see harvard apologize. and harvard should apologize for the egregious antisemitism that took place on their college campus against jewish american students. there were professors who who said that he had engaged in discriminatory behavior against jewish students. of course, you had the former president of the university saying bullying and harassment depends on the context. >> so this is. >> just the latest example of, again, that the white house and this president flexing his presidential muscle. but, jake, it's a bit ironic because the president, as we have watched him for many years, has long held up ivy league students and graduates. he's hired many, many of them. but this is a sign of what th

he's also a harvard alum, and he says harvard has set an example, rejecting an unlawful and hamhandedeedom. let's hope other institutions follow suit. trump has been explicit about how they want to abuse power to reshape colleges. as i mentioned earlier in the show, it is against free speech. it's against the exact type of independent inquiry and freedom of thought that colleges are supposed to have. and it's very anti conservative because it's trying to abuse big government power and funding to shape local and individual and even private activities, a top trump doj official said just this last month. >> we're going to bankrupt these universities. we're going to take away every single federal dollar. that is why we are targeting these universities. >> it's happening, and this is a big deal. senator sanders also speaking out, saying congratulations to harvard for refusing to relinquish its constitutional rights to trump's authoritarianism. other universities should follow their lead. instead of doing pro bono work for trump, cowardly law firms should be defending those who believe in t

harvard has $453 billion endowment.ly independent. there is no one stopping them. they are a private institution. >> bret: legal battle. girding for legal battle. >> harold: i hope the president loses this battle. not that i want the president to lose at any time. we are entering a moment where it seems like the law that was broken here is that these people disagree with the president. >> i don't have any issue with a politician i disagree with when i apply for -- if an organization i'm a part of, i serve on the board of a nonprofit, if we apply for a grant and all of the board members and all of the people we serve didn't support the mayor or the governor or the president, that shouldn't disqualify us from being able to seek the grant or if we have ideas about diversity and inclusion that differs from that political place. i just ask everybody who watched this as long as they comply medical research, scientific research and producing good things what would be the reason other than political disagreement? >> bret: they

i think, harvard alumnus group or harvard alumni group.at's your take on this? >> they agreed to some not all demands with some not all of the students there still facing multiple open lawsuits. i find this whole conversation almost hilarious. the sense of entitlement here is disgusting. first of all, absolutely clear. the u.s. supreme court has already held that a charitable organization, including specifically a university, can lose its tax exempt status if they are violating fundamental policy. that was bob jones university versus the u.s. in 1983. they lost their tax exempt status because they're racist. discriminatory policies were contrary to a compelling governmental interest and to public policy. harvard has said they will not comply with what the federal government says they need to as it relates to enforcing nondiscrimination policies. of course, they can lose their federal exempt tax status. i've read through the letter that the task force sent to harvard, and all they're asking for is to come up with solutions to its own proble

your book has generated a lot of attention, including a review in the harvard law review by an esteemedederal judge, and he takes you up on your snails hypothetical. he sort of suggests that you would is skeptical of the idea of buying a train ticket for snails, and it would be more about a dog or things of that nature. he says from his view, if all animals must have a ticket, then he has to buy 20 tickets for those snails as well. i'm curious what you make of that argument. fmr. justice breyer: he may have the money to do it, i don't think so. i'd say what's the point of this? i don't know the point of the snail example, i didn't look further into it. i noticed the next day the railroad company gave the guy his money back. so i couldn't tell you the answer to that one. i'm probably better on freedom of speech, but there are those who are a lot better, but nonetheless. >> i'm curious if you could back up and tell us about why you felt compelled to write this book at this particular moment. it is no easy thing to write a book. it's an especially difficult thing to write a book if you are

he also wants to see harvard apologize and harvard should apologize for the agree just anti semitism that took place on their college campus against jewish american students to jonathan jacoby. it sounds like you don't think all of it has anything to apologize for. i think harvard actually has apologized for those instances where a student safety was put a risk and i think it's not only apologize, but it's taken steps. and it's one way to look at what harvard has done up until now. i think that it's, it's been grappling with this one is done a good job. i do. i think that harvard to apologize to the american jewish community. i think that's crazy. the american jewish community isn't, has been embraced by harvard. it has a vibrant jewish community. i know many of the professors there, i know what i studied when i was there, and i think that the president you apologized to harvard for what he's trying to do . okay. the stated goal of removing a anti semitism from america's university is that's the, that's the headline of these, these trump activities. is it necessary and how best could

and thinking he's one who would not be afraid to challenge harvard or to confront harvard, because, again, harvard with their and their influence, people capitulate to him and they don't stand up to him. and so when ben was speaking and i said, i have to reach out to him, share my story. but were in a crowded auditorium. i don't know. hundreds of people were there. and i was in the back of the room and i started making my way to the stage where was and everybody was taking pictures with him. and i'm pressing my way through and i make it to him. i had a picture of papa renty and i showed it to him. i said, this is my enslaved ancestor. and i told him that his likeness, his legacy is being appropriated. harvard university and, i believe that this is reparations case and we exchange business cards. he was very, very pleasant but i just thought that that might be the end of it and i had tried a few days later he calls me and he said i haven't been able to think about anything else is reparations case and i want to meet and go over it with you and so lo and behold, to make a long story s

larry: maybe it's time to defund harvard.ning us now is chairwoman of house republican leadership elise stefanik who went to harvard if i'm not mistaking. so she won't play ball on dei and anti-semitism. what's up with this? >> this is entitlement you're seeing by harvard. let's go back to two years ago after october 7. you saw a sigh rocketing of anti-semitism on harvard campus as well as other undergraduate campuses across country. these universities famously did not condemn calling for the genocide of jew which is is why harvard's president is ousted and forced to be fired as well as plagerism scandal but what's important larry is these schools get billions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer funds and they aren't entitled if they aren't protecting civil rights of jewish students on campus. the fact they are going to defy the trump administration's department of education requirements, it shows how out of touch they are with everyday american values. larry: we're talking about a lot of money. >> we are. they get $9 billion. presid

harvard has not. taken the president or the administration's demands seriously. >> the white house is taking on harvard after it became the first of the elite universities to defy the administration's efforts to take on so-called woke campus policies, restrictions that the university says amount to unacceptable limits on freedom of expression. last night, the administration froze more than $2 billion in federal grants to the university, and today the president is threatening harvard's tax exempt status, suggesting in a post on his truth social platform that it should be, quote, taxed as a political entity, end quote, unless it acts in, quote, the public interest. >> when it comes to harvard, as i said, the president has been quite clear they must follow federal law. he also wants to see harvard apologize, and harvard should apologize for the egregious antisemitism that took place on their college campus against jewish american students. >> trump officials portray their fight against the most prestigio

you know, he threatened the harvard's tax to pull harvard's tax exempt status this morning.o congress. and it would be a very, very tough they would have to pass a law taking away harvard's tax exempt status. and it doesn't seem like it would go anywhere, at least at this point. but, you know, he can threaten. he can also he could, you know, there could be a lawsuit. he could there. the president and stephen miller, one of his most powerful aides, are said to be pleased to have this as a fight. they want to have this fight. they can if it goes to court and is a protracted fight in court, it could it would be given the platform to, to attack. you know, what they see as liberalism and elite education run amok. >> elizabeth, let me ask you one more question about mr. burke. you write that he was an outside ethics advisor to the trump org, but that he represented the law firm paul weiss. paul weiss went in and did a deal. is that the end game for harvard that they go in and do a deal? >> i just don't know. i have it's a very good question. i would think not in this case, but but

you had president brian at harvard do the same thing. right now, universities need to find some courage. our law firms need to find some courage. [applause] there are things that matter more than simply being tied to one's endowment. we need the presidents to be bound together and fight, standing up, for free expression. that is the heart of american democracy. there's a reason it's the first amendment, and i certainly will continue to speak out very strongly for the first amendment rights, even of people who i strongly disagree with, and i have done that throughout my career.

rehema ellis is outside harvard's campus.want harvard to do here and what do we know about the possible implications of having all of this funding cut? >> reporter: well, one of the they thinks that harvard was saying is that it wanted them to eliminate all of its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. it wanted to have information regarding who was going into the school and who wasn't. and not just who might have been accepted and rejected, but it wanted all of the additional information that goes on along with that. it was putting some programs and departments under scrutiny as well and also wanting some reform on student disciplines. and some people were upset that harvard was willing to concede to some of the issues that the trump administration had issued before, but these that the university said came from the trump administration just last friday, i believe, they felt it was too far for the university to go and they are pleased with what their university president sent back to trump basically saying it's pushing ba

those that's what's currently on the table right now at harvard university. and as you noted, trump issued a statement on social media today suggesting that this could escalate even further. and looking for another pressure point to go after the university. and that would be on its tax exempt status. but the way things stand right now is that that pocket of money is frozen. the administration has targeted about $9 billion in federal funding that goes toward harvard. now we've reached out to harvard to understand which of their programs are being impacted. we have not heard back, but some of their biggest grants come from the national institutes of health. those include funding research into cancer, into infectious diseases and other areas. so as that is beginning to play out, there's also just the the question of what other areas might the trump administration put pressure on here. and they've made clear in that in the press conference today with the press secretary that they expect all universities to comply, what they say with the federal law, if they expec

the president also took aim at harvard's hiring practices last week.ven the now >> and we're trying to figure that out and then they hire de blasio. the worst mayor, the history of new york and they had the woman from chicago who was a disaster, total disaster and they pay a massive salaries and they're supposed to be teaching new government. the white house's decision to withhold more than 2 billion dollars for harvard comes amid pressure campaigns on the other elite private universities. >> some of which have agreed to the president's demands to save their federal funding. chris's others that are coming actually getting now from. >> in business. and the university really do want to come sit >> discussions but harvard is now the highest profile institution to resist its president saying in a letter, quote, no government, regardless of which party is in power, should dictate what private universities can teach, who make it in mid and higher and which areas of study they can pursue. but the white house indicates its efforts to bring universities more in

journal of law and public policy and the harvard law review blog, good to have you here.ft a teaching spot at georgetown over a dispute several years back. but give me your sense of whether or not the white house is on strong ground here to claw back this money some of which is due over the coming years. >> when you take federal funds you accept federal strings with respect to accounting standards, waste, fraud, and abuse, that is where demand to look at plagiarism in the faculty comes from for example. discrimination laws and civil rights laws and harvard and other schools now being investigated with their funding in jeopardy were all too happy to accept mandates involving dei, environmental standards and other progressive goals but all of a sudden one the administration wants to enforce civil rights protection for jewish and non-jewish students alike to make sure that students have free speech rights, due process rights, if they are accused of malfeasance making sure harvard enforces it's own policies against illegal encampments. all of a sudden they are playing the aca

president trump is clashing against harvard university. his administration is freezing more than $2 billion in federal grants and government contracts, after the prestigious school announced it will not comply with his directives to limit campus activism. as rebecca kaster reports, big name democrats, including former president barack obama, are urging colleges to oppose the trump administration. >> and to prop up. >> the trump administration is not soon forgetting the widespread pro-palestine protests that swept across university campuses last year. some of the international student leaders are facing deportation, and now federal funding is on the line. >> we have been addressing the issue of anti-semitism on campuses. there's been some grant funding and contract funding that we've reviewed and some canceled and some we've put on hold. >> harvard is the latest school to have billions in federal grants and contracts put on hold after university leaders refused government demands, including to eliminate dei programs. report foreign students

i'm going to begin with you, rehema, because this is a big move by harvard. harvard. excuse me. what is the what are the consequences so far? >> well. >> so far, one of the consequences. i don't think it's too much to say is that it has led to a feeling of joy on this campus. when they were feeling a little bit despair before this, because they thought that there was an effort to take some of what is most trusted and valued about harvard away. this is an institution, the oldest university in this country, which is known for its aspiring creative thinking and being a place where there's given birth to of technological and scientific and medical advances. they thought that that funding that comes from the government helps to lead to that kind of creativity. and so the president of harvard university pushing back. listen to what we heard from people on this reacting to that today. >> this is a fantastic start. and i. think that being. forceful and standing by our values is exactly what the university should be. >> doing, and. >> now it needs to stick to that and keep being consiste

christopher leaves princeton, new jersey, to go to harvard or princeton, where he could have gone and enters the working and winds up in a coma and then winds up almost being by a falling roof, and then up leaving the coal mines, still thinking he's against his father and figuring out what keeps coal mine up and and so when i get him on the phone after about 20 minutes, he's told me the story. he says, so you know, that this that's me in a nutshell. i said, well, wait, you you you left you rebelled against your but you ended up doing what your dad, he got very upset with. you have nothing in common but gothic cathedral roofs and coal. i said, i'm sorry, but there's something going on here. so i would fill in the blank by saying christopher, mark does what he does, in part in reaction to his father and and in part because he did find this in the course of reacting against, his father, he did find this problem of absorbed him so much that he spent 35 years answering the question and the answer is very complicated and and wonderful and interesting and that and that once he found problem

first it was columbia, then harvard, then the university of pennsylvania, more recently cornell, johns hopkins, northwestern. the good news is that for princeton they are hearing a lot of word they are wanting to resist this authoritarian takeover. we hope georgetown will follow in that path. writing in today's new york times, it is crystal clear that antisemitism and d.e.i. are mere pretexts for the attack on universities today in this country. like much of what this administration does, the war on higher education is driven by anti-intellectualism and greed. trump is building a mafia state in which the don distributes malware and -- power and money. universities are independent sectors of -- and they are trying to destroy this independence that is at the heart of the attack on american universities today. looking at this picture i painted, it is accurate to state that the spirit of senator joe mccarthy is alive and well in the trump administration today. they have spent months dishonestly characterizing war crimes in gaza is anti-semitic, pursuing witchhunts against american colleges
